John Fergus Parent Council has been an active part of school life for around 12 years now. We organise fundraisers throughout the year, traditionally a Duck Race, a Sponsored Walk and stalls at some school events. We are also pleased to support the school in curricular and planning decisions wherever we can.

Current Parent Council Roles

Chair – Karen

Secretary – Amanda

Treasurer – Donna

We welcome any parent or carer who wishes to attend meetings – even if it is just now and again.

Dates for Parent Council are made at the end of each meeting and shared through the minutes and through Groupcall. There tends to be 4-6 meetings a year.
